Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

You should use the discount coupon to pay for the Chicago-Miami trip. Not considering the personal motivations for the trip, the coupon is worth $500. The cost of flying is $600, so you will only pay $100 yourself. You will be spending $900 + $1000 = $1,000 in total.

The opportunity cost of using the coupon is $350 (the cost of the round trip to Atlanta). Even if you add the $350 to the $1,000 expense, the total is $1,350, less than your $1,400 maximum budget.

The lease agreement specified quarterly payments of $6,500 beginning September 30, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and each quarter (December 31, March 31, and June 30) through June 30, 2024 (three-year lease term). The florist had the option to purchase the truck on September 29, 2023, for $13,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $19,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years. Mid-South Auto Leasing’s quarterly interest rate for determining payments was 3% (approximately 12% annually). Mid-South paid $51,000 for the truck. Both companies use straight-line depreciation or amortization. Anything Grows’ incremental interest rate is 12%.

Required:
a. Calculate the amount of selling profit that Mid-South would recognize in this sales-type lease. (Be careful to note that, although payments occur on the last calendar day of each quarter, since the first payment was at the beginning of the lease, payments represent an annuity due.)
b. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 30, 2021.
c. Prepare an amortization schedule(s) describing the pattern of interest expense for Anything Grows and interest revenue for Mid- South Auto Leasing over the lease term.

a stock will pay dividend of $4 at the end of the year. it sells today for $104 and it its dividends are expected grow at a rate of 9%. what is the implied rate of return on this stock

Answers

Answer:

the implied rate of return on the stock is 14.80%

Explanation:

The computation of the implied rate of return is shown below:

The Rate of return is

= (Dividend at year 1  ÷  share price) + growth rate

= ( $6 ÷ 104) + 0.09

= 0.058 + 0.09

= 14.80%

We simply applied the above formula

And, the same is to be considered

hence, the implied rate of return on the stock is 14.80%

When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway.

Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Janet places a value of $125,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Janet simply bids $125,000/2 = $5,000 and wins the piece of art.

13. Rent Expense
14. Utilities Expense
15. Truck Expense
16. Miscellaneous Expense
17. Insurance Expense

Answers

Answer:

a. Recorded jobs completed on account and sent Invoices to customers.

Account to be Debited ⇒ 2. Accounts Receivable

Account to be Credited ⇒ 11. Fees Earned

The fees are to be credited as it is revenue. The amount will be debited to Accounts receivables because the customers owe the company.

b. Received an invoice for truck expense to be paid in February.

Account to be Debited ⇒ 15. Truck Expense

Account to be Credited ⇒ 8. Accounts Payable

This is an expense so it is debited as expenses are debited when they increase. As it is to be paid in future, it is a liability and will be credited to Payables.

c. Paid utilities expense

Account to be Debited ⇒ 14. Utilities Expense

Account to be Credited ⇒ 1. Cash

As explained, this is an expense and will have to be debited. It was paid with cash which will reduce the cash balance so Cash should be credited.

d.  Received cash from customers on account

Account to be Debited ⇒ 1. Cash

Account to be Credited ⇒ 2. Accounts Receivable

Debtors are paying the company cash which will increase the cash balance so Cash is debited. The Receivables will be credited to reflect that they are decreasing from the debt settlement.

e. Paid Employees Wages

Account to be Debited ⇒ 12. Wages Expense

Account to be Credited ⇒ 1. Cash

As explained, this is an expense and will have to be debited. It was paid with cash which will reduce the cash balance so Cash should be credited.

f. Withdrew cash for personal use.

Account to be Debited ⇒ 10. Merry Walker, Drawing

Account to be Credited ⇒ 1. Cash

The owner withdrew cash for personal use and so this is sent to the Drawings account. It is debited to reflect that it is reducing capital. Cash will be credited as it is decreasing.

Sara purchased a life insurance policy as an investment from her neighbor, Angela. Angela, the original policy holder had paid premiums of $12,000 before the sale. Sara paid Angela $16,500 to acquire the life insurance policy. Sara made additional payments of $5,000. When Angela died, Sara collected $50,000. How much of the policy proceeds is taxable to Sara

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Explanation:

She invested = $12,000

Total money spent to acquire the policy = ($16,500 + $5000) = $21,500

Total money invested on policy = $21500 + $12000

Total money invested on policy = $33500

Money that sara got after angela died = $50,000

Therefore, the taxable proceed will be = $50,000 - $33,500 = $16,500

On January 1, 2020 Herald acquires 100% of Tribune and will operate Tribune as a wholly owned subsidiary. Herald's purchase price was less than the fair value of the net assets of Tribune. How is this handled

Answers

Answer:

When the purchase price is lower than the fair market value, accountants generally refer to this as negative goodwill. All negative goodwill must be reported as a gain.  

Another way to refer to this type of situation is a bargain purchase (lower price than FMV).

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company's performance.
Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
Statement True False
1. A company exhibiting a high liquidity ratio means it is likely to have enough resources to pay off its short-term obligations
2. Asset management ratios provide insights into management's efficiency in using a firm's working capital and long-term assets.
3. Debt management or financial leverage ratios help analysts determine whether a company has sufficient cash to repay its short- term debt obligations.
4. One possible explanation for an increase in a firm's profitability ratios over a certain time span is that the company's income has increased
5. Market-value ratios help analysts figure out what investors and the markets think about the firm's growth prospects or current and future operational performance
Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis?
a. A firm may operate in multiple industries.
b. A firm's financial statements show only one period of financial data.
c. Different firms may use different accounting practices.

Answers

Answer:

First Part

1. True

Liquidity ratios such as the Current ratio are used to show that a company can cover its short-term obligations.

2. True

Asset management ratios juxtapose a company's performance vs its long term assets and so provide insights into management's efficiency.

3. False

Debt management ratios show how much of the company is funded by total debt not whether it has sufficient cash to repay its short- term debt obligations.

4. True

Profitability ratios take into account how much income is raised by a company so when this increases, the ratios will as well.

5. True

Market-Value ratios show the firm's value in the market which is a reflection of what investors and the markets think about the firm's growth prospects or current and future operational performance.

Second Part

The Weakness/ Limitations are;

a. A firm may operate in multiple industries.

Should this be the case, the company's performance in one sector cannot necessarily be compared to companies that operate in that single sector because it would not take into account the company's other sectors which may impact figures.

c. Different firms may use different accounting practices.

When different accounting practices are used, ratio analysis may not be a true indication of the situations in the company. For instance, a company using LIFO cannot be effectively compared to a company using FIFO when using ratio analysis.

Alternative price indexes
Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the_____using______by the_____using_____and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The consumer price index refers to an index in which the prescribed market cost of goods & services by the prices years from the base year prices of the prescribed market basket and then it is multiplied by 100.

But the Gross Domestic Inflator would be represented when the all types of prices of goods and services generated domestically

An increase in the price refelected the GDP deflator

And, the decrease in the price of treewood represents CPI

The following expenditures were incurred by Tamarisk, Inc. in purchasing land: cash price $74,000, accrued taxes $4,400, attorneys’ fees $4,300, real estate broker’s commission $1,500, and clearing and grading $3,600. What is the cost of the land?

Answers

Answer:

$87,800

Explanation:

The following expenditures were incurred by Tamerisk incorporation when purchasing a land

Cash price = $74,000

Accured taxes = $4,400

Attorneys fee= $4,300

Real estate brokers commission = $1,500

Clearing and grading = $3,600

Therefore the cost of the land can be calculated as follows

= $74,000 + $4,400 + $4,300 + $1,500 + $3,600

= $87,800

Hence the cost of the land is $87,800

Consider an economy described by the following equations:

Y=C+I+G
C=120+0.8×(Y−T)
I=500−50×r G=150
T=125

where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at the natural rate of output), GDP would be $2,850.

Identify the equation(s) each of the following statements describes.

a. It is a function of disposable income.
b. It depends on the interest rate.

The marginal propensity to consume in this economy is:____________ .

Suppose the central bank's policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 3%, so r = 3. When the interest rate is 3%, GDP is __________$ .

GDP at an interest rate of 3% is the full-employment level.
a. True
b. False

Assuming no change in monetary policy, (a decrease, an increase) in government purchases by ____ would restore GDP to the full-employment level. (Note: Assume that such change in fiscal policy has no crowding-out effect.) Assuming no change in fiscal policy, (a decrease. an increase) in the interest rate by ___ would restore GDP to the full-employment level.

Answers

Answer:

Consumption c is a function of disposable income

Investment I is a function of interest rate

Marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8

If this 3, I = investment

= 500-(3*50)

= 500-150

= 350

We have Y= C+I+G

Y = 120+0.8(Y-125)+350+150

Y = 120+0.8Y-100+350+150

Y-0.8Y = 120-100+350+150

0.2Y = 520

Y = 520/0.2

Y = 2600

GDP and interest rate falls below full employment

If there is no change in monetary policy an increase in government purchases by 50dollars takes gdp back to full employment

If no change in fiscal policy when interest rate decreases by 1.4% God goes back to full employment.

a. What is the total cash outflow for buying and for leasing a motor vehicle with a cash price of $33,000

Answers

Answer:

For buying = $32,640

For leasing = $31,800

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For buying

Total cash outflow = Down payment + Loan repayment - Value of vehicle at the end of loan

= $5,600 + (780 × 48) - $10,400

= $32,640

For Leasing

Total cash outflow = Down payment + Loan repayment - Value of vehicle at the end of loan

= $2,000 + (600 × 48) - $1,000

= $31,800

The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue that hosts live concerts attended by over half a million patrons a year. A group of local organizers, led by a prominent local businesswoman, would like to use the pavilion for a concert to benefit a non-profit, national network of investors and environmental organizations working with companies and investors to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change. If the pavilion management agrees to host the concert, the organizers will donate all profits to Ceres (or absorb any losses).

Based on the following revenue and cost information, the organizers would like answers to several questions.

1. There are three sources of revenue for the concert:
2. Tickets will be sold for $15.50 each.
3. A large multinational corporation headquartered in Chicago will donate $2.00 per ticket sold.
4. Each concert attendee is expected to spend an average of $17.00 for parking, food, and merchandise.
5. On the expense side, there are also three components:

A popular national group has agreed to perform at the concert. Normally, the group demands a significant fixed fee to perform, but to reduce the risk for the organizers, the group has agreed to perform for $6.00 per ticket sold. The organizers will pay several companies to operate the parking, food, and merchandise concessions. They will pay $21,000 plus 15% of all parking, food, and merchandise revenue. The organizers will pay the pavilion $85,000 plus $7.00 per person attending to cover its operating expenses (production, maintenance, advertising, etc.)

Required:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?

contribution margin per ticket = ($15.50 + $2 + $17) - ($6 + $2.55 + $7) = $34.50 - $15.55 = $18.95

b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?

total fixed costs = $21,000 + $85,000 = $106,000

c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?

estimated profit = (10,500 x $18.95) - $106,000 = $92,975

d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $100,000) / $18.95 = 10,870.71 ≈ 10,871 tickets sold

e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?

$100,000 / (1 - 31%) = $144,927.54

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $144,927.54) / $18.95 = 13,241.56 ≈ 13,241.56 tickets sold

f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?

contribution margin increases to $18.95 + $7 = $25.95

10,500 = ($21,000 + $100,000 + ?) / $25.95

$272,475 = $121,000 + ?

? = $151,475

you can pay up to $151,475 in fixed expenses to the pavilion

what is the question

KW Steel Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation. Waretown Steel, KW’s major competitor, instead uses the FIFO method. The following are excerpts from each company’s 20X1 financial statements:

KW Steel Corp. Waretown Steel ($ in millions)
20X1 20X0 20X1 20X0
Balance sheet inventories $797.6 $692.7 $708.2 $688.6
LIFO reserve 378.0 334.9
Sales 4,284.8 4,029.7 3,584.2 3,355.8
Cost of goods sold 3,427.8 3,226.5 2,724.0 2,617.5

Required:
a. Compute each company’s 20X1 gross margin percentage and inventory turnover using cost of goods sold as reported by each company. Restate KW’s cost of goods sold and inventory balances to the FIFO basis. On the basis of its adjusted data, recompute KW’s gross margin percentage and inventory turnover.
b. Restate KW's cost of goods sold and inventory balances to the FIFO basis. On the basis of its adjusted data, re-compute KW's gross margin percentage and inventory turnover. Explain how the revised figures alter your earlier comparisons.

c. The performance of KW Steel worsened with the reinstatement of the LIFO reserves.  Before the reinstatement, KW Steel was running closely behind its competitor, Waretown Steel.  But after the reinstatement, Waretown gave KW Steel more gap in performance.  This reinstatement shows that when the performances of two companies are compared based on different criteria, the financial analyst will likely arrive at a wrong conclusion.
